BALING- PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed January 23, was.

To ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PETER K.-DEDERIQK, of Loudonville, in the county ofAlbany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to that class of balingpresses in which the reaction or back-expansion of the pressed material is relied upon to reverse the traverser or plungerafter a charge has been pressed into the baling-chamber, and particularly to that class in which the forward movements of the traverser are effected by means of a reversible horse-lever or sweep, acting through intermediate connections.

In Patent No. 33%,004, granted me January 12, 1886, there are illustrated a number of forms of power contrivances, in which asingle movement of the horse-lever or sweep from side to side of the press is caused to effect two complete reci'procations of the traverser, and the present invention is designed to provide still other forms or embodiments for accomplishing the same result.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a press with my improvements applied thereto, and showing the position of the parts just before the completion of the first stroke of the traverser, which takes place while the horse-lever is moving from left to right. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same with the parts in the same position; Fig. 3, a similar view showing in full lines the position of the parts at the commencement of the second stroke, and in dotted lines their position at the completion of such stroke. Fig. 4 is'a sectional view through the end of the horse-lever.

Similar letters of reference in the several figures denote the same parts.

A represents the press box, and B the balechamber, of what is known as a perpetual or continuous baling-press.

O is the traverser, and D the pitman, jointed at its inner end to the traverser. The outer end of the pitman is jointed to one end of two Patent No. 341,560, dated May 11, 1886.

arms, E E, pivoted at or near their middles to a shaft, F, and G is the horse-lever or sweep, having openings g in its upper and lower arms, g, for the passage of the shaft F, and pivoted to pivots it within said openings, as 55 shown. The pivots h pass through arms 2', which project from plates I, secured to the outer faces of the horse-lever. (Shown in Fig. 4.

Projecting from the upper and lower arms 60 of the horse-lever are pins or stops 1 2 3, which are adapted to engage with the thicker portions, 0, of the pivoted arms, as will be hereinafter described.

The operation is as follows: When the horse- 6 lever is swung around into the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the traverser is withdrawn, so as to permit the charge of material to be fed into the press-box in front of it. After a charge has so been fed in, the horse-lever is 70 started toward the opposite side of the press. During the first part of its movement the stops 1 upon it bear against the portions 6 of the centrally-pivoted arms E, and swing said arms till they are nearly in line with the pitman, 7 when said pins ride off the ends of said arms, and the latter being released the expansion of the material throws them back to the points from whence they started, thereby effecting one complete stroke of the traverser, and then 8 upon the continuation of the movement of the horse-lever the stops 2 will operate upon said portions 6, and this time carry them way across the center, so when the pressed mate rial again react-s it will cause said ends 6 to be 3 5 thrown over to the opposite side of the press.

On the return movement of the horse-lever the operation just described will be repeated, save that the stops 3 will be called into action, instead of the stops 2.

When the horse-lever reaches the extreme of its movement in either direction, the bases of the arms 1', which project from the plates I, come in contact with the shaft F and prevent further movement of the horse-lever. 5

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. The combination, with the traverser and pitman, of the centrally-pivoted arms connected to the pitman and shaft upon which Ioo they are mounted, the horse-lever mounted on independent pivots, and having arms between which the centrally-pivoted arms vi brate, and connections, substantially as described, for bringing the centrally-pivoted arms first nearly up to the center and then past the center at each movement of the horselever in either direction, as set forth.

2. The combination, with the traverser and pitman, of the centrally-pivoted arms widened at one end to form a bearing for the stops, the shaft on which said arms are mounted, and a horse-lever mounted upon independent pivots, and the stops 1 2 3 upon said horse-lever, whereby two reciprocations of the traverser are effected at each movement of the horselever in either direction, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the horse-lever having the opening for the passage of the shaft, of the plate applied thereto having the arms which seiwe to receive the pivots of the horse-lever, and at the same time serve as stops to limit the motions of the same, sub stantially as described.
